I need some help. I thought some other people might need it too.
For those who don't know, HRCYED is a reading challenge created by QWORDY. It is a very hard year-long challenge. Link HERE
I'm struggling to find books for 2 prompts, if anyone has suggestion it would be most helpful! I have included the prompt rules too.
Familial terms in the title - This must be five DIFFERENT familial terms. No boyfriend/girlfriend and husband/wife don't count. i.e Brother, sister, uncle, father... etc.
Numerical Titles - You must do the words one through ten plus one more of a random number. Yes, you may use the words translated into other languages, you may not use "Vol. 1" for manga/comics, etc. Must be the TITLE.
If anyone has a prompt they are struggling with, please feel free to ask below, and I'll see if I can help. Also, thank you in advance to anyone who helps. â€ïž

If you don't know what HRCYED is, it's the Hardest Reading Challenge You'll Ever Do. It spans the whole year, from july 7th 2026 to july 6th 2027. I made a post about it earlier this year which explains and links everything. Right here.
If you do participate, how did week 2 go? What prompts did you start or finished? Any excellent books read that you recommend? Or terrible ones you'd warn us from? Any hidden gems?
I also wanted to ask if you are interested in me continuing the weekly check-in, or if you would prefer monthly, or not at all?

snowseau wrote a review...
I don't really have many thoughts about this book other than that I was confused about all the inconsistencies with the films. It seems like Clarion had a complete 180 in personality, and so many of the things Petra made kind of made Tinker Bell's work in the future seem redundant. Milori as a character was flat, and I really couldn't say anything about him other than that he liked Clarion.

Have you ever read a book set in a real world location that heavily affected your enjoyment or affection for the story?
I read The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin last year and didnât like the characters or plot that much, but I loved seeing how Le Guin brought Portland, OR to life. As someone who grew up in the area, I could follow the MCâs commute through the city and how it shaped the novel, and it helped me enjoy my experience a lot more.
On the flip side, I just finished The City We Became by N. K. Jemisin, and struggled to find my footing with the story and the characters. It was well written and there were creative choices I appreciated, but I think I wouldâve liked the book more if I had any familiarity with NYC at all.
Does anyone have a similar experience?

Do you strictly read via e-reader, audio, or physical? Which do you see best results with?
I have a Kindle and canât force myself to read on it! Audio is only used for work if I have to force myself to get a book done (cough, current book club read, cough). Physical is my preferred because I find myself reading wayyyy more and I can see the progress easily.
